Oh my!  Would you mind elaborating on the issues?  We have 8210 booked...

Shhhsh they are fantastic the end ones with the big window forward or aft tremendous but please do not tell anyone the balconies are so small and the overhang from the magic carpet make them so closed 😱😱😎😎🍔🤡

book one but please do not tell

We sailed in the Edge 8200 terrible would never book this cabin again 

Another way may be to book a cabin at the promo price and then just keep looking for Tha cabin you want and then just call and switch cabin. I have done this a few times tp move to a hump cabin. 

We are sailing from Hawaii to Vancouver on the Edge in May 25. Wanted to stay on and do the following Alaska cruise. But have found out that will not be possible due to the Jones act. So looking at other options but will wait until the schedules are released. Can you please let me know when your cruise sailing was released. Many thanks

Hi Ken

many thanks for confirming that for me, what a stupid rule but heyho never mind.

I will need to look at other options but what a shame we cannot stay on board for the next sailing. However things may change when the Schedules are released.

I will just need to be patient, we have friends sailing on a med cruise next month so I may ask them to purchase a future cruise certificate. Once again many thanks for the confirmation 👍

Hi can you please ask if you can stay on the ship and do an Alaska cruise if you boarded in Honolulu even though it arrives in Vancouver but ends in Seattle 

thanks

Hello all

many thanks for all your help and knowledgable replies. It really seems I am not going to stay on the ship, there is no stop before the ship docks in Vancouver.

so that option is removed. What a silly situation oh well look at other plans but I would have loved to have stayed on the ship. Once again many thanks

But I am disembarking in Vancouver 😱😱😱

I have just looked at some other cruises. HAL sails from Seattle round trip but docks at Victoria from 8pm to 11:59 so why is that allowed I am really confused😵‍💫

Thanks for all the info will need to wait and see when the itineraries are released 

So that is why when we sailed from Los Angeles round trip to Hawaii the ship pulled into Ensalada for an hour. However I will be booking 2 separate cruises which will have different booking references. This just does not make sense

There might be an issue with doing a b2b. You will be starting and ending in a US city. Check into the The Passenger Vessel Services Act . Talk to your TA and or Celebrity. 

Hi 

thank you for the heads up but I believe based on 24 sailings that as the Hawaii sailing finishes in Vancouver this does not effect a B2B which ends in Seattle 😎

Hello

can anyone advise when Celebrity release the sailings for May 2025, we are sailing from Hawaii to Vancouver

on the Edge and would like to stay onboard for the next sailing which looks like Alaska to Seattle based on 2024 

sailing schedules.

many thanks

Great tip have done that too 👍

When I sign into my account it shows my correct discovery plus status and points total but when I go into manage my reservation I have no status or points. I am sure either once I am on board if it is not fixed by then, it will be resolved.

I’m glad mentioned it to them.  Better than waiting and them make the comment in the survey. 

one problem with a multi segment cruise is you hold back a bit bit to keep good will.  I have however say have also complained about the poor service of a Sommelier once, to Iain horror. 
 

 

Hi Jim

I know it is unpleasant to complain but we had a situation on our last cruise which was not really acceptable. We or rather I did, again much to my Wife’s reluctance, complain. However it was done quietly on a one to one basis with the host at Laminae.it was sorted never happened again and was forgotten. But it should never have happened at all. I never complain but I expect civility and good service and when not delivered I will make my feelings known, but in a quiet and private way.
I am happy to say that the service on celebrity is top notch, we just love our time on their ships. We cannot wait to fully retire and take more cruises like you. You and Iain are so very lucky, safe sailings.

I have to retract what I said about the retreat hosts.  Tonight 100% attentive.   

They must have been alerted to your post 😎😱👍

Jim,

 

Your comments on your Retreat Host reminds me of the ones we had on Edge in early 2020, right before the shut down.  We spent 7 days and both of them never left their podium.  If you wanted to talk to them you went to the podium.  The podium was tucked around the corner from the entrance so no friendly greeting upon arrival in the Lounge at all. 

 

Cranston is a hard act for any other bar tender to follow.  I had to stop him from making my drink when he saw my glass half empty in case I wanted a different second drink.  The second time, he started asking me if I wanted my 'usual' or would I like something else.  

 

 

Cranston is the best but I think Celebrity are not being too nice to him. When we last sailed they have brought some other bartenders into the retreat who are not as good. Cranston has been moved for some shifts to the OVC. Why no-one knows and Cranston being Cranston is as professional as ever.

YOu forgot the link....

 

I got my hand slapped once at at British Heritage house in Ayershire where we had Iain's Aunts 90 Birthday party.    Prince Charles had saved all the furnishings and they don't allow any photos.

Hi Jim

really looking forward to the tale of your travels but it is now King Charles, but wish his Mum was still with us. She was such an icon

The Riverside Hotel on Las Olas is a really nice hotel their tower corner suite is amazing. Just love your reviews they are so informative but also very very interesting. Safe travels and I am looking forward to when we too have retired and can travel so much. The good news is though, that it will not be too long for that to happen but we are lucky that even now we can take a month off to travel.

Hi Charla,

if you get a chance can you ask when the Alaska cruises on Edge for 2025 will be released. We are on a Hawaii to Vancouver in 2025 and could not book the following cruise for Alaska as they have not been released yet. Did not want the future cruise voucher as have heard they are not such a good deal.

Many thanks and I think it may not be too long before Gen Z wants to travel with you on all your cruises 😎👍

We loved #1552, any cabin below would be great fantastic balcony looking aft no wind 

if you like it please do not tell anyone

Nobody knows what type of cabin you are sailing in 

unless they see the grey suite card 😎😂😱

Hello

just looked at the new site but my loyalty status is at the lowest level I was Discovery plus on the old Azamara 

Is this a glitch???

I know it's been a while but was wondering how you enjoyed this cabin...I have a hold on it right now and would appreciate your final thoughts.  Also, was the adjoining room an issue with noise?

Hi

we just got off the Edge, 8200 the other end. We loved the cabin, carpet never moved and there was no noise from anywhere. The lobby gives extra privacy. No issues with adjoining cabins.

The only thing that was the access to the wardrobe which are located right next to the bed. We have booked the same cabin again for a future cruise.

hope this helps
